This section provides steps you must complete to upgrade the
Subsystem Device Driver (SDD) for the Linux operating system on the pSeries host.
You must have a preexisting version of the SDD installed on your host before
you can perform these steps. See Installing the Subsystem Device Driver on a pSeries host running Linux if
you are installing the SDD for the first time.
- Log onto your host system as the root user.
- Insert the SDD installation CD into your CD-ROM drive.
- Type mount /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom to mount the
CD-ROM drive.
- Type cd /mnt/cdrom to change to the /mnt/cdrom
directory.
- For SUSE LINUX, type cd suse to change
to the suse directory. Then type ls to display the name of
the package.
- Type rpm -qpi IBMsdd-1.4.0.0-6.ppc64.sles9.rpm to view all the files
in the package.
- Type rpm -U IBMsdd-1.4.0.0-6.ppc64.sles9.rpm to upgrade the SDD.
This displays a message similar to the following message:
